ct_rider Posted February 14, 2022 Share Out of interest, where and how was the bike stolen @cdreyer? Happy you recovered the bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdreyer Posted February 14, 2022 Share From a secured bike shop though and small window, the thieves took the bike out in pieces, all while evading the security system.Ā Ā Thanks to some eagle eyed cops, they saw 2 guys trying to get the bike into a taxi in Wynberg, about 15km away from the bike shop and when questioned about the bike, they were unable to convince them it was theirs, fortunately I had my TokaiMTB board on the bike and they were able to reach my emergency contact.Ā Ā The bike is still with he police, I did manage to see it, and it is pretty banged up, hopefully all cosmetic though.

Also a lesson in why Tokai locals should join TokaiMTB - help keep the trails going and maybe retrieve a stolen bike thanks to the bike board šĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
